Some are being auctioned off to advisory organization members to raise money, and there is one that will remain at the non-profit for years to come. It’s a custom jersey made for William Booth, the founder of The Salvation Army. The name on the back is “Booth” and the number is “65,” which stands for 1865, the year The Salvation Army was founded in England.It will be displayed in the lobby of the local Corps Office at 200 E. Stoner Ave. in Shreveport.
